The erythema (grade 1) was observed from the initial evaluation time point, i.e. 1 hour following removal of the patch.
The oedema (grade 1) was observed only at the 24-hour observation time-point. - Other effects:
- No other local signs and no staining observed. No clinical signs and body weights were within the normal range.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Based upon the referred classification criteria (commission Directive 2001/59/EC of August 2001), dimethyl 2-methylglutarate is considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin.
- Executive summary:
In a skin irritation study, 3 New Zealand White rabbits were treated by a topical semi-occlusive application of 0.5 mL of undiluted Dimethyl 2-methyl glutarate for 4 hours and were observed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours as well as 7 and 10 days after exposure.
The application of the test material to the skin resulted in mild signs of irritation, including erythema and oedema (maximum mean score of 1 and 0.33, respectively). These effects were reversible and no longer evident 48- or 72 hours and 10 days after treatment, respectively.
No other local signs and no staining were observed. There were no clinical signs and body weights were within the normal range.
This skin irritation study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirement for an acute dermal irritation/corrosion study (OECD 404) in the rabbit.
